Tyre pressure might not be the first thing you think about when trying to save fuel, but it plays a bigger role than many realise.
Too little pressure means more resistance on the road. That forces the engine to work harder and burn more fuel. Just keeping your tyres properly inflated can make a noticeable difference at the pump.
It’s not only about fuel. If tyres don’t have enough air, they can wear down quickly and get too hot. Tyres with too much air may feel bumpy and grip the road less effectively.
A few smart habits:
· Make tyre checks part of your routine
· Always go with the pressure recommended by the vehicle brand
· Don’t rely on guesswork; use a pressure gauge
· Be aware that hot or cold weather can change tyre pressure
It’s a simple check that pays off over time, helping your wallet, your tyres and your peace of mind.
